Medicaid transformed Charlie’s life, and made it possible for him to play on the playground with his friends.

Now, Republicans in Congress want to rip away his health care.

Republicans are too ashamed to even look Charlie in the eyes.

Share his story. Call your senator today.

On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy.

We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

Meet Judy Bardes. She's 93, going on 94, and she was out on the road outside the Quadrangle senior community in Haverford, Pa., protesting Trump's tyranny. This spring's anti-Trump protests are her very first, and she tells me "it's scary to think what I'm fighting against."

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

For nearly 70 years, a segregationist held the record for the longest the filibuster in order to block civil rights.

Today @booker.senate.gov broke that record to advance justice and defend democracy.

Grateful for your leadership, Senator.

Trump's blackmail of Ukraine continues. Trying to rob Ukraine at the very time when we are fighting to preserve our own statehood is very low, mean, and this is not what allies do 😑
